go to sleep, the gas, which they had
kept lighted, suddenly went out;
groans were heard in the stairway,
and when they opened their doors to
try and discover the origin, they en-
countered fierce gust Of wind that
almost took their breath away. Co
ing down stairs together, they found
all the doors and windows closed
and nothing whatever to Indicate
the presence of intruders. Then
they searched the house from garret
to cellar without avail. But no
sooner did they try to go to sleep
than the noises began again, and
when morning came Mr.. Smith made
up his mind to give up the house,
for while, rs he said, he didn't be-
lieve in ghosts, and was sure there
was nothing supernatural about the
manifestations, the fact remained
that the house was filled at night
with all kinds of uncanny and rest
disturbing noises, and so It was just
as bad as if it were really haunted.
A few days later the neighbors
saw the objects of the Smith family
carried out of the Fifth avenue man
sion and carted away.

ORIGIN OF FAMILY NAMES

The Greeks, with few exceptions,
had no family or sire names. The
Romans had three names; first, q
proper name (pr@nomen), the dis
tinction of the individual, like our
babtismal or Christian name; Sec
ond, the name of the class (nomen J,
and, third, the family name (cogno-
men). Sometimes to these were ad-
ded, ON account OF act or valor or
event, fourth name (agnomen), as
Publius (pranomen), J, Cornelius (the
clan of Cornelius), Scipio (the fam
ily) and Africanus (the agnomen J,
because of his victories in Africa.
The prenomen was generally not
written in full, as NJ. for Marcus, p.
for Publius, ETC.; as M. Tulius Cice-
ro. i. e., Marcus" to distinguish
him from his brother Quintus, Tul-
lius the clan, and Cicero, the family.
In Germany and the Teutonic ma
tions family or surnamcs or as it
should be spelled, "sirnames," i. e.,
sire or fathers name) were little
used before the fourteenth century.
Every one had baptismal name
only. The most ancienI method was
to add the fathers name to their
own, rs John son, Williamson, Da-
vid-son, etc. The Arablans still fol-
low this CUSTOM e. G., Hali-son 1oar
is called Ebu Hall Halls son and
Yoar's son would be Hebu Yoar.
The surnames given in England
about the time of William the con
queror wer selected, like the agnomcn
of the Romans, from some peculiar
circumstance relating to the individ-
ual. Thus, the earl sof Anjou OBJ
tanned the surname OF Plantagenet
from the well-known story, and his
descendants were called Plantagen-
cts, Fitz (from the old French fills
meaning "son" Mack (Scottish), J,
Ap, (Welsh), o. (Irish), Ez (Span-
ish J, and Ben were all preliXes, mean
ing in those several languages ''son."
But Fitz meant illegitimate son. The
German sohn, Swedish son, Dutch
son are the same. German Won,
Dutch van. French de mean ''Of or
FROM referring to the residence or
descent. On the establishment of
the feudal system new names were
introduced, derived either from oc-
cupation, rs Smith, Turner, Carpen-
ter, Fuller, etc, from place Of nativ
ity, ms French, Welsh, etc, or from
personal complexion or other pecul-
iarties, as White, Brown, Black,
Long, Short, Sweet, Smart, Coy,
Martin, Wren, etc.-AHdata Coasti-

ey in improving and eluipping their

gree of certainty on a paying crop of
fruit evary year.
Chicago is the great distributing
point for the berries produced in
Wisconsin, shipments being made
thence to nearly every State and
Territory in the Union, to Canada,
to Mexico, and to several European
countries. Berries sent to the
Southern markets are put up in wa
ter-tight packages, and the casks are
then filled with water, this being the
only means by which they can be
kept in hot weather. Even in this
condition they can be kept only a
few days after reaching hot eli
mates.

A chimney only ffty-six feet high

A chimney only fifty-siX feet high
built in common lime mortar, ,oscllla-
ted to an alarming degree. Conse-
quently the chimney was loaded by
putting on the top an iron plate
weighing upward of 250 pounds.
The cure was perfect. Although the
stack is built in an exposed situa-
ton, it has stood for sixteen years,
during which many severe storms
have tried its strength, yet it does
not show any horizontal Or vertical
cracks. Similar results are recorded
in connection with the construction
of i mill ut Mullfort, near Rheydt.
Here mill-owner found it necessary
to heighten building by two stories
without inierrupting work in the fac
tory below. The constant vibration
caused by the machinery, however,
destroyed the walls as fast as the
bricks were laid. To check this eff
feet the walls were heavily loaded
with iron rails as fast as the cement
would bear them, and by this means
the additional height was safely
reached, the vibration of the walls
being completely stopped.-Engin-

A TYPICAL NEVADIAN.

The festive Nevada sheep-herder
when he comes to town is critical or
nothing. He resents anything that
savOrs of the dude, and one of the
things he can't stomach is the plug
hat An opera manager in Reno
was walking along on Sunday morn
ing. The suns rays were reflected on
his shining silk hat, and the spec
tacle had the effect on 4 sheep herd
er drinking at neighboring bar
that red flag has on a bull. The
herder attacked the man, whom he
called dude, and demolished the
plug hat with a revolver. When he
pays his fine and goes back on the
range he will be hero in the eyes
of the sheep-herders because of his
protest against effete eastern styles.
